Ten teams converged at the Crossville Communications yard for the second annual Cornhole Tournament, which complemented the Barbeque Competition Saturday, April 13. The teams began their rounds at 12:30 p.m. and continued throughout the afternoon in the double elimination contest.

Each team of two played a round to 21. The teams scored points in two ways. If a bag landed on the board, it was one point and if the bag landed in the hole, the team recorded three points. Each team member tossed four bags and the team who was leading after each round threw first.

Chris Birkla, coordinator of the tournament, was busy recording scores and setting up additional matches on the Cornhole field. Teams were asked to play on different boards throughout each of their rounds. A total of $200 was up for grabs in the tournament with first place receiving $100.

First place was awarded to Keith Large and Scott McDonald while second place went to Bill Harman and Brian Ragsdale. Bill and Krisanne Weinbrecht finished in third.

Donations were also collected for the Veteran's Memorial fund by Pat Rawlinson and Krisanne Weinbrecht.
